Three PK forestry upgrades with Palfinger Epsilon M110Z79 cranes have been delivered to UPTO Benšak, a long-term partner. These upgrades are mounted on Volvo FH460 trucks, accompanied by PK forestry trailers PSM 180. Aluminum components make the PK forestry combination one of the lightest in its class. The truck upgrade and trailer together provide a total payload capacity of 28 tons.
The Palfinger Epsilon M110Z79 crane has a reach of 7.9 m and is equipped with a Palfinger Epsilon FG53 grab with a capacity of 5000kg. The forestry platform without a floor is 5600 mm long and has aluminum undercarriage protection and an aluminum front wall.

PK forestry trailer PSM 180 has a loading platform with a length of 5200 mm. The trailer also has aluminum underbody protection and two pairs of aluminum ExTe E9 bunks, just like the truck. The trailer is equipped with a scale with a monitor to measure the total weight of the trailer.
